cat.png shares a free MIT-licensed repository of notes from three SpaceX engineers who shipped a product in 72 hours using Grok Bot agents. The notes cover a chief-of-staff bot, scoped specialist bots, proof-before-merge rules, cost figures and 40 documented antipatterns. The quoted post describes a 14-page guide on a growth lead building bots to replace his own work.
unicode @unicodef1wnSpaceX AI's growth lead built a bot to replace himself. I turned his session into a 14-page PDF.
He started with six bots. One job each.
→ researcher, product marketer, website ops, performance, analyst
→ each one takes the handoff from the one before it
→ he leaves comments in the doc, the bot reads them and redrafts
Then he built the seventh bot.
It read the other six. It read every place he had to step in and fix them.
Then it ran three campaigns and told him nothing until they were done.
His words: "I don't want to talk to any of the other bots."
Also in the PDF:

Abhishek Singhvi @DrAMSinghviHaving worked closely with Ratan Tata earlier, being aware of his legacy and not only knowing personally all the principal actors on both sides in the current so called Tata dispute but also having deep, genuine and abiding respect for and excellent equations with all of them, my first reaction, as I enter the fray as the lead lawyer for one side, is one of sadness and regret that these issues could not be solved amicably. But in the ultimate analysis, fundamental rights of shareholder-owners cannot be nullified in the manner in which they have been. To stultify shareholder ownership rights …

codila @0xCodilaJev is the "Internet" moment for the AI industry

Aaron Levie argues that personal agents like Muse will make tools and sites compete for agent attention, forming the biggest consumer tech shift since the App Store. A quoted post claims Meta launched an agent app store built on connectors and is positioned to profit from user data.
Ejaaz @cryptopunk7213zuck essentially launched a new app store for agents today and Meta’s perfectly placed to crush it, you’re looking at a multi-trillion dollar opp if they pull it off:
- instead of apps, agents get equipped with connectors i.e. plugins to any app, service or software tool.
- suddenly your agent goes from a useless chatbot to an action-oriented helper that gets shit done for you
but it gets even better - meta has collected ALL the data about you. they know what you want, when you want it which means they know exactly WHICH connectors to list in a marketplace and HOW MUCH to charge because the…
Chamath Palihapitiya praises a deep dive from his team on the open versus closed AI race. The quoted report says open-weight models have come within roughly four months of the best publicly evaluated closed frontier models.
Chamath Palihapitiya @chamathDeep Dive: The Open vs. Closed AI Race — Open-weight models have come within roughly four months of the best publicly evaluated closed frontier models, and the gap between them has only gotten more volatile.
That is turning the open vs.
Chamath Palihapitiya predicts that within 12 months the top three models will be open source, with American cloud providers such as Nebius, Iren, Baseten, Together and Fireworks capturing the economic gains. He quotes Guillermo Rauch reporting that open models held 78.4% of token volume on Vercel AI Gateway.
Guillermo Rauch @rauchgLooks like today may be a record day for token volume % of open models on Vercel AI Gateway:
🟦 Open 78.4% 🟨 Closed 21.6%
While spend 💲 usually tells a different story, #3 and #4 today are Moonshot AI & DeepSeek. Adding Z.ai, their combined spend surpasses OpenAI (#2).
(Do note that's the spend for inference of the model across providers (mostly in the US), not revenue going directly to the open weight labs.)
